Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Have been in Westminster and golden. Wind, rain, thick clouds, then clear, then not, then higher winds, now clouds, sleet. Mother Nature forgot to take her meds this morning.
We got ~2 inches of snow this morning and currently have winds of 29 knots with gusts of 70 knots. Ground blizzard conditions with 50-75 foot spruce and fir trees blowing around like grass blades on the prairie. I expect some in the yard will break or uproot today, just hope that none hit our vehicles.

The wind was fairly mild early on but picking up now. Looking north it looks like it might start snowing but the temp is too warm for any snow to stick around.

Lost a huge 40ft+ pine tree. Anyone need firewood?

Internet/cable TV spotty in the Springs today. My house isn't groaning (ranch with overhang roof all around) yet, but my toilet is breathing. I live in town.
We lost electric power at 11:40. Xcel Energy currently shows 397 outages affecting 50K customers in the Denver Boulder area.
Without power we can't pump water or run the fan on the wood stove. Fortunately our old wall furnace runs on a thermopile system which doesn't require electricity to work.
Fastest gust I've seen so far is 70MPH in Briargate, Colorado Springs.
The house is shaking and creaking. Part of the new fence the neighbor put in is down.

YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

Always need firewood, how is access?Originally Posted by Firehaus

Does home insurance typically cover roof damage due to wind? Asking for a friend...
